Iran wants nuclear weapons. the U.S. is promoting the fiction that despite past behavior and the apocalyptic statements by its leaders, Iran will agree to stop its nuclear program. It will not. Iran cannot be trusted to honor any agreement. Iran wants to become a global player. It wants Israel gone. No agreement meant to hamper either goal will have any lasting effect. Netanyahu's defiance of American dictates has precedence. On June 7, 1981, Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered the destruction of the Iraqi Osirak reactor just before it would become operational. here were the predictable denunciations from all quarters about how the attack would hurt the "peace process," which has never existed, but privately Reagan administration officials were said to have cheered Israel's actions. President Obama and the State Department are on the wrong side of history and public opinion when it comes to Iran and the threat it poses to global stability. Pro-U.S. regimes in much of the Arab world understand the existential threat they face against a nuclear Iran. These nations -- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Oman, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt -- are regarded as apostates by Iran's theocratic rulers who view them as targets, not fellow Muslim neighbors, possibly because Iran has become the world's number one exporter of terrorism , including to these countries.
